US President Donald Trump has announced to impose 50 percent tariff on India. Earlier he had applied 25 percent, but now it has increased to two times. After this decision of Trump, the statement of senior Congress leader and MP Shashi Tharoor has come out.
Shashi Tharoor said that if America imposes 50 percent tariff on us, then we should also impose 50 percent tariff on him. Why is there an attempt to spoil the relationship only in the trades. Relations are not deteriorating from our side, happening from American side.

Shashi Tharoor reversed Trump’s decision
The Congress Parliament reversed Trump’s decision and said if they do not value our relationships and if they do not do it, then why should we do it too. Indians are living there, raise their voice. He said that it will have an impact because we have 90 billion dollars trade and if everything is 50% expensive, then the buyers will also wonder why buy Indian things?
50% tariff should be imposed on American export
Shashi Tharoor said that if he does this, then we should also impose 50% tariff on American exports. It is not that any country can threaten us like this. On the other hand, India’s Foreign Ministry has expressed displeasure over the decision of America, saying that it is very unfortunate that the US has imposed additional fees on India for those steps, which many other countries are also charging in their national interest. India has described this decision of America as unfair, unjust and impractical and clarified that the country will take every necessary steps to protect its national interests. Let us know that the US had earlier decided to impose tariffs on India from August 1, but later decided to apply it from 7 August.
